André Butzer — Obstgarten Edvard Munch
André Butzer

Obstgarten Edvard Munch

A large-scale oil painting by André Butzer, "Obstgarten Edvard Munch" merges the artist's signature cartoon-like figuration with an homage to the expressionist legacy of Edvard Munch. Rendered in bold, gestural brushwork, the composition pulses with raw chromatic energy, blending grotesque humor with an underlying psychological tension. Butzer's visceral application of paint creates a dreamlike orchard scene that oscillates between joy and unease, reflecting his ongoing dialogue between American pop culture and European modernist tradition.
